On Safari is a 1908 London hunting and natural history book by Abel Chapman, published by Edward Arnold and aimed at sportsmen and naturalists, covering big game hunting in British East Africa with notes on birds. The pictures are pen-and-ink drawings in fine hatched line on cream paper: a waterbuck head in profile with long ringed horns, a nest of weaver finches among tall grass, a wild boar standing in scrubby thicket, and a crested bird in flight, offering a designer clear, economical models for botanical and animal line work.
